Marinas for boats over 12m with boat repairs on site in the South East
Marinas and harbours that say they take boats over 12m (40ft): a stated maximum length, or a published price for a boat that size. Canal sites that only take narrowboats are left out; see 70ft narrowboat moorings for those. Sites with an engineer, workshop or boatyard on site, so jobs get done without moving the boat.
